The President Visits Mount Vernon.
Washington, May 14-Some of Presi-
dent CleveIand's friends were surprised
to learn to-day thst he never visited
Mount Vernon till yesterday, and that
he had not the least idea OF the surround
.inga OF where rest the bones of the father
and mother of this country. The presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland made the trip
upon the invitation Of Mrs. Lsughton
ind wers accompanied by Mrs. Folsom,
General and Mrs. Sheridan and a few
others. After luncheon there they re-
turned to the CITY about 8 o'clock in the
evening. Mrs. Cleveland is nov
wearing a stylish gray cloth suit
in daily dress. With it she wears a
girlish turban hat, black trimmed, with
hight loops OF black velvet in front. A
black and white striped umbrella COM
pietes her half-mournlng toilet. Mrs.
Cleveland has delighted the hearts OF
the young ladies here, whose engage
ments have been recently announced, By
promptly sending them a pretty note of
eongtatnlation. She has o rare faculty
IN the wording OF the precious missives
as well as in notes of sympathy received
by ladies' who have suffered family
bereavement. Some of her warmest ad-
mirers are attached to her simply ty
the kindest expression of coincidence
she sent them on these occasions,
which was prompted by a gennine sym-
pathy and in the rush of winter, when it
was popularity supposed she was busy
with social matters. Mrs Weleh, who
still remains ct Oak View with Mrs.
Folsom, resembles her closely and has q

Railroad Building In the Northwest.
The Northwestern Rallroader has the
following:
During the six weeks of ITS existence
the Northwestern Railroader has had to
record the incorporation of sixteen new
railroad companies in Six OF the north
western states and territories, as we'll as
the commencement OF work on thirteen
new branches or extensions of existing
roads. Work is also 10y in progress on
what may be- called unfinished business"
or lines left uncompleted last year, at
some forty different points in the north
weet proper; while in the state of Min
nesota alone there are fifteen new lines
lthough not among the sixteen newly
incorporated ones mentioned above) on
which preliminary arrangements are
progressing favorably Gas it appears)
towards an early commencement OF
construction. When it is remembered
that On one of the "untinished business
lines it is expected that 600 miles of new
track will be laid before fall; that or
another the cost of explosives for blast
ing work alone is estimated to amount
to 100000 and that on q third are to be
seen some of the most remarkable featt
of steep grade construction to be seen in
America, some idea of the magnitude o.
the railroad building now going on il
the northwest may be arrived at.

Laying out a Wild Cat

Our Romney correspondent tells
about the capture Of wild cat: "For
some time the chicken coop of Thornt
Parker, who lives about five miles west
of this place, has been nightly raided by
some 'yarmint' that staid on the noun
tains near his house. Fearing the utter
depopulation of his hen roost if this
nocturnal abduction of his toothsome
bipeds was not stopped, and the conse-
quent inability to set before the preach
ers, who often stop with him, the GUS
tomary 'yallerlegged chicken, ThOrnt.
instituted search for the four-footed
poultry thief Friday morning, but only
succeeded in finding the remains offour
or FIVE fowls that had been carried some
distance up the mountain and partially
devoured.
without waiting to ascertain whether
his unWelcome visitor would choose
any such condfment, he seasoned these
literally with strychnia and wenthOme.
On going there to the same place Satur-
day morning he found the carcass of an
enormous wild cat stretched out by the
chickens. It was about the size OF a
large dog, and weighed fifty pounds.
Some of its teeth were two inches long,
and protruded from It's mouth above the
upper Jaw. It's claws were frightful, be-
ing nearly as long as mans finger, y

WASHINGTON, March T. Commits
sioner Sparks has ordered the restora-
ton to entry of 1890 acres of land in
Reed City (Michigan) land district,
which were selected, in 1871, by the
Jackson Landing and Saginaw Railway
Company. The commissioners, in
1885, held that these laads were ex-
cepted from the railroad grant by
reason of having been embraced in
an Indian reservation, at the date of the
grant, AM that by the subsequent ex-
tinguishment of the Indian reservation,
the lands were restored to the public
domain, and did not inure TO the rail-
road company.
Secretary Lamar affirmed the deci-
sion and the present action over the
lands is to settlement and entry under
the public land laws.
